Has anyone here known someone to do LASIK surgery? I really don't want to keep paying for new prescriptions on glasses every year because my eyes suck so much.Pretty soon, I'll be wearing glasses bigger than my head. I really need to inquire about LASIK surgery.

I guess I can do daily contacts? I don't want to do contacts like the 2 week ones because they end up getting really irritated really quickly and I end up not seeing the boards at school, and they start to dry up when I'm looking at the computer screen for awhile.

I need something where I have no glasses at all, no contacts at all. They all bother me to some extent. I just want to live stress-free on my eyes.

My mom had it done and they messed up so she had to go back under. I don't know if you know this, but they are just cutting off layers of your cornea during the procedure to reshape your eye. They can mess up, and on top of that especially considering your age, the results will ultimately not be permanent because the shape of your eye changes as you age. Either way you are most likely going to need glasses/contacts down the line =(.

That's not true....

Everyone I know opted to pay an extra $500 or so for their surgery to get free "touch-ups" should their vision every deteriorate with time.
One explained to me that as long as he has one eye exam every year, he never has to pay for additional surgeries.

Anyway....I've never heard of anyone's getting messed up. that sucks.

Ok ok you might not need glasses or contacts down the line but you will have to get surgery again if you don't. Point is, its not permanent.
